Hey everyone - registrations are now open via Antlog: http://antlog.garya.org.uk/event/13 This will be a great change to show you all the ever growing Robot Wars Exhibit at the centre and show you what we've been doing with our fortnightly Robot Combat Club. The event will be live streamed via youtu...

Thanks again for all your feedback everyone. We're still finalising the design as we keep getting tips that improve the design. To summarise where we're at: The arena itself is modular having two piece that can be bolted together. Our standard size and mobile set-up will be will be 1200 x 1000mm. Wh...

Update on this idea: Turns out they were already in talks with 'another party' about having a large arena at the event this year..! The costs for that are very high, so they're not sure if it'll go ahead. They've asked me to talk with them again in March to explore further if the other option doesn'...

Would there be scope to claim back travel costs etc. from New Scientist Live? At this stage I think it'll be most likely that any expense cover would have to come from us (Atom Club) rather than NSL, so we'd have a donation box or charge a small participation fee to cover as much of our costs as po...

Thanks for the speedy response! It's a fair way off but if the dates work out then I'd happily volunteer, it sounds like a good venture. Were you looking for resources as well (arena, demo bots etc.) or just the man hours? We'll definitely need some bots, but we'd take our arena up in the van with o...

Me again - who is this new guy with all the posts? Sorry... We (Dorset Science & Tech Centre) have a stand booked at NS Live in September (London Excel Centre) and we always lay on an activity. Last year it was the Mission to Mars simulator. It just crossed my mind that we could probably get some ex...

Thanks Gary Yes it was the pricing structure I was most worried about due to a different demographic between the existing antweight community and the local newcomers we're trying to encourage. We're limited in capacity and due to our planned marketing, we're expecting a lot of newcomers. So we wante...

Thanks Gary - really appreciate it I think you're right and we should expand the size of the box to allow for bigger trenches. Our original sizing was driven by some cheap sheets I was offered, but we can still utilise them for the side panels and doors. We're using the Peter's arena as the basis - ...

Hey everyone We're sitting down this week to design and order parts for our new Antweight arena. There's a lot more experienced people on here than us, so I was hoping for some feedback... Size: We're planning on making the PC box around 1.2m x 1m, with a small trench between the arena and walls - d...

Hey everyone The aim of this post is to: 1) Announce a new 2-day antweight championship this year - November 23rd-24th 2018 2) Collect feedback on the event format (including on entry costs) 3) Ask if the second day (Saturday 24th November) could be part of the AWS I've just opened my own education ...

Thanks again for all your help and advice everyone (including on pm and email) - I really appreciate it. We've agreed a change of date which based on the feedback received, we believe will work better for AWS regulars. The schools only day is confirmed for Friday 23rd November 2018. Meaning the main...
